…elect representatives who don’t dismiss the environment as a ‘single issue’ but who understand that it is ‘the issue’ that stands between mass extinction and a chance for continued human civilisation?

…what else would you add?

I’ve written this because I feel an increasing need for clarity. An election is coming up on May 3rd and the environment (i.e. future generations, era of mass extinction etc) seems to be so little on the agenda or reaching media attention. I’m organising Dot Dot Climate Dash as part of Climate Impacts Day on May 5th, and wanted to produce a call to action. It’s not there yet. I’d like your comments and additions.

I’d also like to compile a list of ‘shift terms’ – phrases and concepts we need to promote for a more ‘ecological epistemology’. I’d love your ideas on that too.

I just wrote a comment and lost it so now I can only be brief – sorry. I am glad to see you using the concept of ecological epistemology. I have developed this idea in depth in my PhD – which I will publish shortly. Great blog thanks Bridget.
